Just to clarify Harry's comment, you can put a dictionary on a Reader but you will need to know what page to jump to for a particular word definition or else page through it manually. There is no mechanism to jump to a particular word.

That's fine. But where would I find a free one to put on there, please?

Actually, I don't know of one. I assumed that using one would require a minimum of 20 or more button pushes per look-up and that's if I was lucky at guessing a word's location in the dictionary. So I haven't bothered to try to find one. However, there is a thread here about a dictionary for the Sony Readers that involves a hack. You might read through and decide if it's something for you to try or not: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22320

Thanks, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for; I don't need a searchable one, just a strightforward one, and I will flick back and forth until I find the page I want. Does anyone know if ther eis such a thing out there?

Those appear to be only available in Mobipocket format, not Sony. Sorry, Athos, I've looked also and can't find one anywhere. If there was a good one that was free and legal in HTML format, I'd be willing to give a shot at converting it to Sony LRF format and add a two-tiered table of contents (clicking on E takes you to another table of contents for those words beginning with E; clicking on EL takes you to a section of the dictionary with words starting with EL so that you can more quickly look up ELUCIDATE, for example). If anyone ever finds one, let me know.

Isn't DRM laden Mobipocket crackable? And if so, it should be possible to convert it to LRF. Or not?

BTW vivaldi, HarryT mentioned there was an older dictionary available from PG. Yeah it's a bit old, but I'm guessing the English language didn't completely reinvent itself in the last 100 years. It should still be quite useful.
